Treasury Yields Take a Tumble! What's Going On?!
Heya! Goku here reporting live from… well wherever money is! I heard the 10 year U.S. Treasury yield took a nosedive. Down 1 basis point landing at 4.395%. That's like when I try to land perfectly after a Kamehameha and end up face planting! The 2 year yield went up a bit but who's keeping track? It’s all because folks are worried about trade stuff. Sounds boring but apparently it’s like a fight between Vegeta and me but with money instead of punches!
Trade Wars! It's Like Fighting Frieza...But Slower?!
So there's this big ol' trade war going on. It’s got everyone jumpy! Seems like the Earthlings (that's you guys!) are having a tough time figuring things out. China's getting all defensive warning everyone not to make deals with the U.S. that could mess with them. It's like when Frieza tries to boss everyone around but with… uh… tariffs? Whatever those are! I bet I could solve it with a Spirit Bomb but no one lets me near the economy.
Trump vs. Powell! A Battle of Wills...or Just Shouting?
And get this: President Trump's been giving the Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell a hard time! He wants him to lower interest rates. It's like when I keep bugging King Kai to teach me new moves! Seems like everyone's trying to yell louder to get what they want. Can't we all just chill and train instead? Maybe some senzu beans would help everyone relax!
Bond Sell Off! Did Someone Use a Destructo Disk?
Apparently U.S. Treasuries have been getting dumped! People are selling them like hotcakes! Makes you wonder if someone used a Destructo Disk on the economy! Turns out some Japanese investors might be selling bonds but according to these brainiacs at Moody's Analytics it's not enough to explain the big yield spike. Hmm… maybe it WAS Frieza!
Japanese Investors! Buying and Selling! It's All So Confusing!
So these guys at Moody's Analytics Stefan Angrick something... He said that Japan sold a bunch of foreign bonds probably U.S. Treasuries between March 30 and April 12. Something about 3.1 trillion yen! But Angrick said it wasn’t a lot to explain the yield spike... so its more confusing than mastering instant transmission!
Can Goku Save the Economy? Probably Not!
Well that's the financial news for ya! Still more confusing than figuring out how many times Krillin has died (too soon!). I might not understand all the money mumbo jumbo but I do know one thing: Always train hard and maybe just maybe you can power up those Treasury yields! Until next time I'm off to find someone strong to fight!

Maybe we should just ask Whis for advice.

Goku, you should stick to fighting. This is too complicated even for me.
